    Having never used the ifollow service before, can anyone offer advice of how we watch the games?

    Do I just register for the basic package on the club website?

    Can you link an iPad to a smart TV to watch it or is a laptop and cable required?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You will find you cannot use an iPad to watch ifollow on a tv. Computer or laptop needed, although I think something like a firestick is another option but I have not tried this myself

    Its quite annoying I cannot think of a single good reason why screen mirroring is blocked for an ipad or iphone but it is. I dont know about android tablets not tried those.
    Only way I can view on the TV screen is to lug my laptop into the lounge and plug in the TV using a cable. I tend not to bother as I have a large monitor on my desk and use that.
    I dont know what the process is for watching the free games but expect its just a simple case of registering for ifollow in the same way as if you want to pay £10 to watch a game but there will be some link to a ST that gets you it for free - hopefully the club will publish some details in the next few days

    In regards the subscription for the remaining games, the official site states they are awaiting instructions from the EFL.

    Unless there is some licensing issue, I can't imagine it would have been difficult for the EFL to develop (say) and Apple TV App based upon the iPhone App code.

    Is there still an issue if you have iFollow open on more than one device?
